Welcome To The NHL!

If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can “feature” it by choosing the “Spotlight” button.

When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.

If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our
Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can
enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the
contest winnings.

Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work,
find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry
fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member
who shot the image).

The National Hockey League playoffs begin tonight. This shot was taken in 1982 for Canadian/Associated Press and was well used worldwide, especially in Sweden as the recipient of this wicked check was native son Willy Lindstrom. Shot for Canadian Press.

The photograph received both regional and national awards from the National Press Photographers Association and a Canadian Press Award.

James,the people in the background caught my eye oddly enough because of the lack of emotion in most of their faces. Hard to imagine at a hockey game. Evidently in 1982 the fans were not as rowdy as they are today!

great shot. My son played hockey for 9 years. Seen it all. this is super. well shot. I laugh at your comment about the fans being more rowdy now. NOT ! The hockey bunch is ALWAYS rowdy. This may be this groups first game..... lol They do look surprised. great capture..

Have to respectfully disagree Shirley. In my my opinion the game at the NHL level has changed enormously. I shot the NHL from the early 70's to the 90's and have followed it carefully all my life. The 'Broad Street Bullies' of Philadelphia were a novelty in the mid 70's, something people had never seen before. Since then, the game has tilted very much in that direction and the fans have reacted accordingly.

Ouch is right.. this is a fabulous action shot, very well deserving of the awards!! .. I agree with your comment James. I used to be a real hockey fan but it isn't the same game anymore, I'm sad to say..

Love hockey! I write and photograph for the AHL's Norfolk Admirals....I've been very fortunate this year to be a part of history as they went on their 28-game winning streak. Their playoffs start Friday! Go hockey!!!

Great action shot...the expressions on the faces of the spectators are very interesting and are a great contrast to those expressions of the players...love the ice spray, and composition...and love all that is said in the body language and facial expressions.
